Video: Theta & Aurora – Big Systems for Big Science
by Rich Brueckner from High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC on (#13H3G)
"Aurora's revolutionary architecture features Intel's HPC scalable system framework and 2nd generation Intel Omni-Path Fabric. The system will have a combined total of over 8 Petabytes of on package high bandwidth memory and persistent memory, connected and communicating via a high-performance system fabric to achieve landmark throughput. The nodes will be linked to a dedicated burst buffer and a high-performance parallel storage solution. A second system, named Theta, will be delivered in 2016. Theta will be based on Intel's second-generation Xeon Phi processor and will serve as an early production system for the ALCF."
